Module wasmer::wasm_c_api::unstable::middlewares::metering

Expand description

Unstable non-standard Wasmer-specific API that contains everything to create the middleware metering API.

The metering middleware is used for tracking how many operators are executed in total and putting a limit on the total number of operators executed.

Example

// Define our “cost function”.
uint64_t cost_function(wasmer_parser_operator_t wasm_operator) {
    switch(wasm_operator) {
        // `local.get` and `i32.const` cost 1 unit.
        case LocalGet:
        case I32Const:
            return 1;

        // `i32.add` costs 2 units.
        case I32Add:
            return 2;

        // The other operations are free.
        default:
            return 0;
    }
}

int main() {
    // Create a new metering middleware, with our cost function.
    wasmer_metering_t* metering = wasmer_metering_new(10, cost_function);

    // Consume `metering` to produce a generic `wasmer_middleware_t` value.
    wasmer_middleware_t* middleware = wasmer_metering_as_middleware(metering);
     
    // Create a new configuration, and push the middleware in it.
    wasm_config_t* config = wasm_config_new();
    wasm_config_push_middleware(config, middleware);
     
    // Create the engine and the store based on the configuration.
    wasm_engine_t* engine = wasm_engine_new_with_config(config);
    wasm_store_t* store = wasm_store_new(engine);
